Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."Haman had the entire world at his fingertips. He's second in command of the most powerful (and arguably only) nation in the Middle East. He has carte blanche to do as he pleases. He's even been able to order the coming extermination of an entire people group. There is almost literally nothing he can't do.
However, despite all that, his pride is bigger than his power. There is one man out there who won't bow the knee to him. One sole man, who does not give him the respect he deserves. Millions who would do anything he says, yet that one man's quiet defiance is something he can not ignore. He's already arranged for the man to be killed in a few months, but that's not good enough. Despite his coming death sentence, on the orders of Haman, he will not change. And that is enough to make everything else insufficient.
